Ein sehr "reales" imitatives Muster nach William James Lunn, welches in den 30er Jahren in England entstanden ist, um auf ausgewählte Fische sehr effektiv, besonders bei hellen Wettersituationen und klaren Wasserverhältnissen, fischen zu können.
Hier etwas zur Namensfindung :
Hills wrote: "It was in 1917, when the River Keeper was fishing with a Mr. Gilbey, of London Gin fame, on Park Stream, fishing was poor, and Mr. Gilbey complained to Lunn, "The trout are too particular today." Lunn gave him a new fly which immediately took three trout. On inquiry from Gilbey, "What's this fly?", the reply was: "It's Lunn's Particular." Particular in England at the time was an expression meaning a "particular favorite" and was applied usually to adult beverages. Therefore, William was expressing some humor when he told Gilbey, the gin distiller, that this fly was his "particular."
When William was shown a copy of this fly that had been purchased from Hardy's shop in London and asked what he thought of its tying, William turned the fly between his forefinger and thumb for a moment and said, "They've got the hook right."
